The sound is harsh and not transparent. I have a pair of Superex electrostatic headphones that sound, to me, far superior, though these headphones are not working properly right now. I enjoy listening through headphones more than I do through speakers, and decided to invest in a very good pair of headphones. I bought the Stax on reputation. Admittedly, I should have auditioned thse headphones, but they were a special order item. Any suggestions on a very good pair of headphones? The quest goes on. I'm tempted to get my Superex phones fixed, and return the Stax. Does anyone know if Superex is still in existance, and if so what their address/ and or telephone number is? Appreciate it.
